Notis

Check how many BART trains are active

Get a recurring system snapshot of the current active train count alongside the transit reference you specify.

Trigger

Recurring schedule

Notis starts this workflow on a schedule, such as daily, weekly, or during business hours.

Action

Get Train Count

Returns the current number of trains operating in the system.

Why this helps

A quick system-level operating snapshot can be useful, but checking it manually means remembering another lookup.

  • Fetch the current count of active BART trains.
  • Review a supplied transit reference alongside the system snapshot.
  • Receive the count on a recurring schedule.

Setup

Build it in a few focused steps.

  • 1Connect AgentQL and Bart once in the Notis portal.
  • 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, and name it.
  • 3In one instruction, ask Notis to review the supplied transit reference and report the current count of active BART trains.
  • 4Pick the cron schedule and choose where run reports go.
  • 5Test with one real reference and inspect the report.

Questions about this workflow

Does the count explain delays or service quality?

No. The action returns a current train count. Use service advisories or real-time alerts for disruption information.

Can this tell me how many trains will serve my station?

No. It reports the current count across the system, not a station-specific departure total.
